Title: THE NEW THREAT FROM ISLAMIC MILITANCY.
Authors: BRANDON ROBSHAW
Source: Independent (UK). 01/31/2016.
Abstract: Islamist terrorism tends to excite hysterical reactions. Jason Burke takes a more measured approach in this readable guide to the history and politics of Islamist groups. Burke is no apologist, nor does he take the soft route of claiming that Islamic militancy has nothing to do with any aspect of Islam. On the contrary, he explains how concepts such as Tawhid, jihad, and the life of Mohammed himself, are core components of the Islamist narrative. But he also gives weight to the geopolitical factors that have been such a recruiting sergeant for extremism. It makes, if one can be dispassionate, fascinating history. And being dispassionate is what Burke urges; measures taken in panicked ignorance are likely to fan the flames. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
